Insurance Policy Coverage For Substance Abuse

BCBS Policy Coverage For Substance Abuse

If your BCBS  insurance policy covers substance abuse treatment, it will also include mental health services. Many clients have co-occurring disorders, mental health and substance addiction issues, called a dual diagnosis. With our dual diagnosis treatment program, both issues can be supported together.

BCBS Coverage for Mental Health Treatment

Mental illness affects millions of Americans and is common among those with substance abuse issues. Insurance providers are legally required to cover mental health services. In many cases, mental health problems can co-occur with substance use, so it is important to address mental health concerns if you are seeking care for substance misuse and addiction.

Do Treatment Centers Need To Be In-Network?

Usually, but not always, care from out-of-network providers will increase your out-of-pocket expenses. 

Some plans will cover portions of out-of-network services after a deductible or coinsurance have been met while others may not cover any such services.

Pre-certification may be required for out-of-network treatment options. BCBS will review the request against nationally recognized guidelines.

For cases requiring pre-certification, BCBS will determine services covered on the plan. Call the number on the back of your insurance card to discuss treatment options available to you.
